As we sit here in early May, some colleges have already announced that they plan to have in-person classes this fall on campuses. Tennessee and South Carolina were the latest 2 Wednesday.

That’s great news for college football fans, because games won’t take place unless students are on campus. That’s step 1.

Multiple scenarios are on the table this fall for the season. The season may start on time, or it could be delayed a month. It could also be a shortened season, a split season between fall and spring or a spring season altogether. It remains an unknown at this point.

Gamecocks athletic director Ray Tanner said Wednesday that social distancing will take place in Williams-Brice Stadium, assuming games are played. We anticipate all other college football stadiums to take the same measures.

“Right now we’re approximately four months away from kickoff so we still have a little bit of time to answer some questions,” Tanner said, via The State. “It is likely that social distancing will be in place at Williams-Brice and our other venues. We are running models currently to determine what kind of attendance we could have, but we’re, we’re still excited about the opportunity to have live sports again. But you know there is some time and we went through those questions and try to resolve some issues as we move forward.”

So, if social distancing is in place, how many fans could the stadium seat? The Lexington-Herald Leader’s John Clay reported that an architect said it was around a 17 percent capacity.
